I have been reeling a bit recently as we learned that 2 people close to us have cancer. I am just now celebrating my 1 year anniversary in remission, a time of sweet celebration for me. But it is tempered a bit by all of the other emotions that come up with such a major death scare - the hard times in treatment, how things could have turned out differently, and how even something as innocent my monthly blood test is a reminder that despite all my current good health and energy, things could change at the drop of a hat. I don't intend to stay in this mode for long-remembering the bad/scary moments -but I am worried doubly for my pals with their new diagnoses of cancer. I hate that anyone has to go through this too and feel all of the uncertainty, worry, and grief that accompanies cancer. I can only hope that my pals get all the support and love they need to deal with this.
Our friends Rebecca and Sara were with us last weekend in Asheville. We took advantage of the great weather to see the magical display of rhododendron and flame azalea at Roan Mtn. I've included a few of those photos here.
